Curious.

[Tonkachow]

Just curious at how the Turbo M35 car's are handling the heat at the moment.

Is anyone struggling in any areas. Air con keeping up. Diff and oil temp behaving as expected or worse etc.

[Paramour]

Mines not as pokey as it normally is, but expected. .

AC could do with a regas, has anyone needed to regas their M35 at all. .

[Sunkist]

mines on stands with no turbo playing in the flooded water hahah

[ironpaw]

Definitely less pokey. AC is fine since it was regassed just before I bought the car. Even with the hdi intercooler the heat really takes the oomph out of the engine. The difference was very discernible when we had the hot days early last week and the cooler last couple of days.

The stock ecu drops timing out heavily on hot days and ramps up the fuel, its what Nissan had to do to save an engine that's being thrashed on a hot day. If you can lower the intake temp you wont notice it as much.

Completely f#%clef!!!...not mention every thing else.....come On winter!

[zei20l]

yeah mine too. sluggish as hell

plus VERY high intake temps, and water temps too.

[ironpaw]

So was the bigger intercooler suppose to help with the hot weather?

You can try a cooling spray on the IC. Jaycar have a kit.

Cool. So nothing really out of the ordinary. Heat reduction is def one of the biggest challenges I often think about more then most mods in cars.

with the last 6-7 day's we have had in Sydney it would not matter what IC you had....you would still be see a considerable change in drivability!.....I'm just glad I no longer have my standard one!

Craig,,, You NEED water spray...... mmmwwwwwhhhhaaaaaaa

i was gonna do this lol

On M35's the intake air temp sensor is in the AFM. You could put ice in the intercooler and the ECU would still see the same temperature. Ice in the airbox would work...

[Dunc]

Ice might have moisture related issues.. dry ice on the other hand...

[Daleo]

Except the resulting release of co2 as the dry ice melts...

[PN-Mad]

Last time I checked dry ice made CO2... not combustible- but cold! So it would prob make a good combustion extinguisher!

Maybe one of those massive dry ice chamber/intercoolers that the dyno cars/drag cars run!!!

Do they sell a Temperature Cut defender...?

In the R33 manualon page EN13 it shows where the temp sensor is. It looks like it is in the T/B. I could be wrong, but if this is so a spray unit on the fmic would help in the C34s.

most definitely would work me thinks.....and probably quite well!
